Sardine Reef

About this site

Sardine Reef off Gam Island is famous for its enormous shoals of silversides that form a living silvery tornado around the coral bommies at 8–20 m. Trevally, giant barracuda, and black-tip reef sharks can often be seen hunting through the bait balls in an electrifying display of open-water predation. The shallow top of the reef at 8 m makes it accessible to most divers.
